About Me

I'm James, I currently live near Leicester (UK) and I've been taking photos for the last 15 years, over the last few years I've realised that my passion in the realms of photography lies in Landscape photography. I enjoy being outside and witnessing what nature has to offer, whether it's a wander round my local footpaths and bridleways or getting out and about in the mountains. My love for photography has helped me to appreciate my surroundings and the little glimmers of beauty that I used to completely miss.
